Definitions
- This invention relates generally to internal combustion reciprocating engines, and more particularly to the delivery of the combustion air to the cylinders.
- US-A-5094210 discloses an intake and fuel/air mixing system for multi-cylinder, externally ignited internal combustion engines with at least two valves per cylinder and at least two separate intake pipe arms per cylinder.
- One of the two intake pipe arms for each cylinder is supplied from one air inlet common to the first group of intake pipe arms.
- the other of the two pipe arms for each cylinder is supplied from another air inlet common to the second group.
- the patent discloses a method for controlling the air flow rate to the cylinders by means of throttling members such that the first group opens first by means of throttling member I-7 for engine operating regions of low flow rates, with the other group being opened by operating throttling member II-10 as a function of the speed and load for higher flow rates.
- cross-flow cylinder heads where the intake ports are located on one side of the cylinder head and the exhaust ports on the other are the optimum arrangement from a gas transport standpoint.
- An example of a cross-flow head is shown in US-A-5007392 (Fig.2).
- cross-flow heads are difficult to design for a pushrod engine, because pushrods and intake ports have conflicting space requirements.
- the cylinder head for a pushrod-type valve-in-head engine is provided with air intake runners which, for certain runners and inside the head, supply intake valve ports for more than one cylinder.
- the two adjacent cylinders sharing a runner have intake strokes separated in time sufficient that ample intake air can be delivered to the intake valve port of each of the cylinders, when appropriate, and the single runner is of sufficient size to do so but without interference between it and the necessary pushrod clearance passage through the head.
- the tangential port is located about 270° around the cylinder in an upstream direction from the helical port, whereby the flow from the tangential port can proceed around the cylinder wall about 270° before encountering the swirl from the helical port.
- Document US-A-3 411 490 shows a cylinder head and an engine according to the first parts of claims 1 and 12.
- Fig. 1 is a vertical section through an internal combustion reciprocating engine having pushrod operated valves in the cylinder head.
- Fig. 2 is a cross section through the cylinder head taken at line 2-2 in Fig. 1 and viewed in the direction of the arrows but omitting the valves and showing the valve ports schematically.
- Fig. 3 is a fragmentary section similar to that of Fig. 1 but showing means for separately controlling air flow to the two different types of valve ports.
- Fig. 4 is a section like that of Fig. 2 but taken at line 4-4 in Fig. 3 and viewed in the direction of the arrows, for a different embodiment of the invention in which each intake runner for a given pair of cylinders serves the same style valve port for the two cylinders.
- Fig. 5 is an illustration of core forms for passageways to seven intake ports in the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 for cylinders 4, 5 and 6 thereof and for the helical port for cylinder 3.
- Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to that of Fig. 3 but cut through at the tangential port and shared runner at line 6-6 in Fig. 4 and viewed in the direction of the arrows.
- the internal combustion engine 11 has the cylinder block 12, cylinder head 13, intake manifold 14 and exhaust manifold 16, both of which are connected directly or indirectly to the turbocharger 17. Accordingly, gas flow through the cylinder head is in the direction of the arrow 18 from the intake manifold 14 through the cylinder head 13 and out the exhaust manifold to the turbocharger exhaust inlet. Fresh filtered air enters the turbocharger at 19 and is discharged from the turbocharger at 20 and piped through intercooler 21 to the intake manifold 14.
- control of the intake and exhaust porting functions is by intake valves 22 and exhaust valves 23.
- the intake valves are operated by pushrods 24 operating through rocker arms 26 on a rocker shaft 27.
- the pushrods are driven by cams 28 on cam shaft 29.
- Roller-type lifters 31 may be interposed between the cams and the pushrods, if desired.
- the exhaust valves are operated in the same way, although by different pushrods driven by different cams on the same cam shaft and operating different rocker arms mounted on the same rocker shaft. Other arrangements can be made and which would be served as well by the present invention.
- a cylinder head arrangement for a six cylinder engine in which the cylinders are numbered one through six, beginning at the front of the engine which is at the top of the drawing.
- the cylinder head provides one intake valve port 33 of the "helical” type for helical flow of the intake air into the cylinder, and a "tangential" intake port 34.
- Two exhaust valve ports 36 and 37 are also provided for the No. 1 cylinder, and the fuel injector port 38 is centered between these four ports and directly over the center of the cylinder.
- Seven cylinder head bolt holes 39 are provided in an array around the valve ports. The same general pattern of bolt holes is repeated for each of the cylinder locations, with two of the holes being shared between the adjacent cylinders. Miscellaneous additional holes are provided for bolts and for coolant but, to simplify drawing, are not shown in Fig. 2.
- Comparatively large holes 41 and 42 are provided for cylinder No. 1 and the same arrangement is provided for the No. 2 and No. 3 cylinders, with mirror images thereof being provided for the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 cylinders.
- These holes are necessary for the pushrods for operating the four valves per cylinder. They occupy significant space in the cylinder head and severly limit the available space for intake runners to the valve ports. Therefore, but for the present invention, they would significantly limit the amount of air that can be delivered to the intake ports.
- intake runner 43 serves the tangential port 34.
- Intake runner 44 serves the helical port 33. It also serves the tangential port 46 of cylinder No. 2 .
- Intake runner 47 serves the helical port 48 of cylinder No. 2 and the tangential port 49 of cylinder No. 3.
- Intake runner 51 serves the helical port 52 of cylinder No. 3 and the helical port 53 of cylinder No. 4.
- Intake runner 56 serves the tangential port 57 of cylinder No. 4 and the helical port 58 of cylinder No. 5.
- Intake runner 59 serves the tangential port 61 of cylinder No. 5 and the helical port 62 of cylinder No. 6.
- the tangential port 63 of cylinder No. 6 is served by runner 64.
- the shared runners are situated above the five camshaft bearing journals 66. Fig.
- FIG. 5 is a somewhat pictorial illustration of the cores used for the runners during the casting process for runners 51, 56, 59 and 64. These forms define the shape of the passageways from a location above the camshaft bearing journals to the respective intake ports.
- the cylindrical boss-like portions such as 53C are at the center of the helices of the helical ports.
- the stems of the intake valves for these ports extend through the center of the cavities formed by these core portions.
- the firing order of this engine is 1-5-3-6-2-4. Therefore, the intake strokes for any two cylinders located adjacent each other in the cylinder block are separated sufficiently that no intake runner is required to supply two cylinders at the same time. In this way, maximum advantage of minimal available space for intake runners in the cylinder head is achieved.
- a cylinder head having the same general arrangement of valve ports and pushrod openings and intake runners is shown, but specifics are different.
- the cylinder head 71 has intake valve ports 72 and 73 and exhaust valve ports 74 and 76. These and the injector port are arranged in the same manner as in the previously described embodiment of Fig. 2. However, for cylinder No. 2, and in contrast to Fig. 2, port 77 is an exhaust port, and port 78 is an intake port. Also, the runner 79 supplies the helical port 73 as did intake runner 44 of Fig. 2 supply tie helical port 33. But runner 79 in Fig. 4 supplies the helical port 81 of cylinder No. 2, not the tangential port for cylinder No. 2.
- FIG. 4 Another difference in the arrangement of the Fig. 4 cylinder head is that the intake runner 82 supplies the tangential (not helical) port 78 of cylinder No. 2 and the tangential port 84 of cylinder No. 3.
- Intake runner 86 serves the helical ports 85 and 90 for cylinders Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, as does the intake runner 51 of the Fig. 2 embodiment.
- intake runner 87 of Fig. 4 serves the tangential ports 94 and 95 of cylinders Nos. 4 and 5, respectively, not the helical port of cylinder No. 5, in contrast to Fig. 2.
- intake runner 88 serves the helical ports of cylinders Nos. 5 and 6, in contrast to service of the tangential port of cylinder No. 5.
- Runner 89 serves the tangential port of cylinder No. 6 as was the case in Fig. 2. In this embodiment, as in the other one, runners are above the camshaft bearings 91.
- each shared runner serves the same type of port for the two cylinders which share the runner. This is not true in the Fig. 2 embodiment where only one of the runners, namely runner 51, serves the same type of port in two adjacent cylinders.
- the arrangement adapts the Figs. 3 and 4 embodiment readily for variable swirl production.
- air flow can be shut off from the tangential ports at low speed to increase swirl. At high speeds, both ports would flow, producing a lower swirl.
- the shutoff of air from the tangential ports in the embodiment of Fig. 4 is achieved by the control valve blades 92. These blades are mounted on shaft 93 which extends through the manifold 14 and immediately outside the manifold mounting face 71F of the cylinder head 71. Turning the shaft controls the air flow to the runners 80, 82, 87, and 89.
- the shared runner intake concept of the present invention makes more efficient use of the space available so that the intake flow is not compromised during passage between pushrod openings. This has been accomplished by utilizing the wider spaces between the pushrods, that are located between each pair of cylinders where there is a camshaft bearing journal. There are five such spaces on the six cylinder engine illustrated and which, combined with the small areas at the front and rear of the engine, allow creation of seven small intake runners feeding six cylinders. While any one of these runners is too small to supply an adequate amount of air to a cylinder under high load and speed conditions, the center five runners being shared by two cylinders according to the present invention, with each runner feeding one valve on two adjacent cylinders at different times, provides room for ample air supply.
- the shared runner feature is particularly useful in pushrod engines, to accommodate pushrod space needs, it can provide improved flow characteristics in overhead cam engines.
- the tangential port 94 is supplied by the runner 87 which is oriented such as shown in Fig. 6 at the port 94 and directs the air along the cylinder wall and in a clockwise direction as indicated by arrow 96 in Fig. 4 around the cylinder wall 4C (thus the "tangential" nomenclature).
- the air entering helical port 90 from runner 86 is moving downward in a helical direction through the port around the valve stem also in the clockwise direction of the arrow 98 (Fig. 4).
- Port 90 is 270° around the cylinder from the direct or tangential port 94. Consequently, it is 270° clockwise downstream from the incoming air from the tangential port 94. With the valves for these two ports opening essentially simultaneously, clockwise swirl introduced through helical port 90, is not as susceptible to destruction by the clockwise tangential flow from tangential port 94 located 270° degrees upstream of port 90 according to the present invention. Therefore, the benefits of the swirl from the helical port as well as the additional air input from the tangential port 94 are achieved at the high flow rates by this arrangement.
- the sharing of runners is different in some respects, but the supportive relationship of the tangential port with the helical port for each of the cylinders is used.
- the swirl from the helical port and the flow from the tangential port is in a counterclockwise direction for cylinders 1, 2, and 3, and it is in the clockwise direction for cylinders 4, 5 and 6.
